Gift giving is rough for a girl on a budget. We constantly hear “it’s the thought that counts,” but it doesn’t feel good to show up to a special occasion empty handed. When Mother’s Day rolls around, we feel the need to get mom something really good. After all, she did give us life, which is certainly worthy of our undying gratitude.

We are exactly one month away from celebrating our mothers for the strong and amazing women that they are. Don’t waste another paycheck on a mediocre gift. We have selected 10 gifts under $60 that your mom is going to love this Mother’s Day!

For the mom who likes a little color: Being a mom doesn’t mean that you must forgo your desires to be a little daring with your wardrobe. As such, bold and colorful pieces of jewelry make great gifts and are the perfect present to bring a smile to your moms face. For the mom who loves statement pieces, we recommend the Carolee Silver Crystal And Turquoise Medallion Pendant Necklace. This necklace can be worn for work or play, and it will always have heads turning. If mom is not much of a necklace gal, try the ABS Pink Crystal Cushion Drop Earrings. These earrings are the sweetest shade of pink.

For the simple mom: Let’s say mom is not a big proponent of wearing a lot of jewelry. She probably owns that one simple chain that she wears all the time. If this is the case then buying her a sentimental necklace that expresses your love is a good route to take. The SKINNY By Jessica Elliot ‘Mama’ Pendant Necklace is small enough to be worn on the daily, and it will allow her to always keep a little piece of you close to her heart. If mom prefers silver rather than gold then go with the Foxy Originals ‘Heart’ Necklace. This piece even includes a loving message to mom.

The classic: Classic pieces are a sure fire way to make mom feel appreciated. If you are thinking about getting your mom a classic ring this Mother’s Day, try the CZ Knot Ring. This ring looks like a million bucks, but it’s only $40!

If you’re considering a classic bracelet, the Carolee Regal Reflection Crystal Flex Bracelet and the Roberta Chiarella Large CZ Bezel Bracelet are both mom approved!

For classic earrings, you can’t go wrong with pearls or crystals. The Butterfly Pearl Stud Earrings combines both of these elements for a look that mom would love. If your mom is not a fan of bling, opt for the Seraphina Pearl Bali Drop Earrings.

Finally, for a classic necklace that won’t disappoint, the Athena Designs Gold CZ Pendant Necklace possesses a simple charm. This necklace can be worn with any outfit.
